AMD K6-III
The K6-III, code-named "Sharptooth", was an x86 microprocessor manufactured by AMD, released on 22 February 1999, with 400 and 450 MHz models. It was the last Socket 7 desktop processor. For an extremely short time after its release, the fastest available desktop processor from Intel was the Pentium II 450 MHz. However, the K6-III also competed against the Pentium III "Katmai" line, released just days later on February 26. "Katmai" CPUs reached speeds of 500 MHz, slightly faster than the K6-III 450 MHz. K6-III performance was significantly improved over the K6-2 due to the addition of an on-die L2 cache running at full clock speed. When equipped with a 1MB L3 cache (on the motherboard) the 400 and 450 MHz K6-IIIs is claimed by Ars Technica to often outperform the hugely higher-priced Pentium III "Katmai" 450- and 500-MHz models, respectively.
Architecture
In conception, the design is simple: it was a K6-2 with on-die L2 cache. In execution, however, the design was not simple; with 21.4 million transistors. The pipeline was short compared to that of the Pentium III and thus the design did not scale well past 500 MHz. Nevertheless, the K6-III 400 sold well, and the AMD K6-III 450 was clearly the fastest x86 chip on the market on introduction, comfortably outperforming AMD K6-2s and Intel Pentium IIs.

All That I Want
by: C21ALL THAT I WANT / C21
I just need you to know
That everytime you walk into a room I get a feeling
And I try to make it show
But every now and then it seems as though you don't believe it
Girl just dance
I like the way you move it
Just shake, shake, shake into the music
C'mon and dance
Don't worry about it
Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
(You turn) me on and on turn me on
The definition of all that I want
But you don't seem to hear me at all
I'm telling you
Baby you're all that I want
All that I want
All that I know
is your the only one that makes me feel the way you do girl
And time will show
That all this jealousy is just a waste of emotion
Girl just dance
I like the way you move it
Just shake, shake, shake into the music
C'mon and dance
Don't worry about it
Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
(You turn) me on and on turn me on
The definition of all that I want
But you don't seem to hear me at all
I'm telling you
Baby you're all that I want
All that I want
Just hear me now
I want you to know
I'm into you
And you alone
Just hear me now
I want you to know
I'm into you
And you alone
Girl just dance
I like the way you move it
Just shake, shake, shake into the music
C'mon and dance
Don't worry about it
Don't need to play no games 'cause I love you just the same
(You turn) me on and on turn me on
The definition of all that I want
But you don't seem to hear me at all
I'm telling you
Baby you're all that I want
(You) turn me on and on turn me on
The definition of all that I want
But you don't seem to hear me at all
I'm telling you
Baby you're all that I want
You're turning me on girl
C'mon and just dance girl
You're making me sweat girl
